You need to make your Communication with your career a good one. It is not just a linear sending off your resume. It is not just going for an interview and facing the questions. It is a big thing in this age of ultra-advanced preparation by all candidates coming for the job. Your RESUME is your first warrior.
When you know this is the first impression you are making, you must ensure this goes as the BEST.
I am no one to give a policy statement on Resume Making. None of us can dictate a perfect resume. However, it is not a discouragement to anyone. We need to make a good one, which earns a call for the interview. The employers may not be looking at the quality of the paper, but they are keener to know what possibilities you carry. The Resume/CV you send is a 'selling document'. You sell your skills and in this barter system, you get an opportunity to work with the skills and expertise you have demonstrated. You 'Defend' you 'Resume' in the 'Interview'. All these 'THREE' entities are inter-related in the context of Employability.
We all, who have got their traditional degrees or have been pursuing one, aim to get acknowledged by employers through these pages sent virtually or in print. We want people to keep their eyes on our presence-our existence. So what do we need to do then?
We need to talk to them on paper! How? Imagine that the Resume is an 'objective script' with cues to speak sentences as replies to the questions. (do not think what a CV is? In this discussion, we need to believe them to be the same.)
Establish a Dialogue with the employer through your resume. For this, it has to be comprehensive while being lucid and precise. It has to speak more but must avoid being lengthy. The art of Developing an Impressive Resume turns out to be a Skill to be Objective in the Job Interview.
